Dear Editor:
Is it just me, or does Rep. Zoe Lofgren's July 11 letter (see 07/13/07 ID) to Secretary Chertoff read like a subpoena?

Richard M. Green, Esq.
Westborough, MA

Dear Editor:
A recent NPR story podcast "Green Card Applicants Angered By Backlog" by Jennifer Ludden covering VB Gate stated, "We really ought to throw out the present law, bulk up on staffers and start over. If this is how CIS handles lawful applicants, imagine the buerocratic nightmare that would have resulted from the last bill. Why not just let immigrants pay uncle Sam $50,000 for an H1B and 75,000 for a greencard after relevant background and medical checks? It'd sure work a whole lot easier."

Honza Prchal, Esq.

Dear Editor:
I am used to reading ID letters disagreeing with my letters' views, but I don't often see letters attributing opinions to me on subjects that none of my letters have even mentioned. David Utterback's July 16 letter implies that my letters incorrectly regard America as merely an economy, not a nation. While I have written more ID letters than I can count, I do not recall a single one in which I have discussed economic issues. This is mainly because it is far too easy to come up with any economic figures that one wants in order to suit one's particular bias for or against immigration. Just as someone will no doubt come up with a study one day showing that all we need to do is bring in 20 million low wage workers from Latin America, and our economy will bloom so much that we will be able to repay our trillion dollar debt to China and afford an invasion of Iran at the same time, someone else will no doubt produce a study showing that granting even one more H-1B visa will send us into a depression that would make the 1930's look prosperous by comparison. Peter Griswold's July 16 letter implies that one of my letters praises the good life in Mexico. I have no idea which letter is meant. In my entire life, I have spent exactly one hour in Mexico, and that was in Tijuana fifty years ago. Based on that memorable experience, Mr. Griswold's letters can criticize life in Mexico to the limit, and no one is likely ever to see a letter of mine in disagreement.

Dear Editor:
The reason for USCIS doing in the July cutoff is only for their own benefit. Yes, the prices need to go up but the extreme it went was outrageous. Now I know that there are people who are not affected due to the date of priority and what are the USCIS going to do about it? These beneficiaries have a right to their benefit.

Dear Editor:
We would like to join you in "The Ombudsman's Recommendations to USCIS: Questions and Comments," and will send our comments in advance, but please tell us more about how to participate in the event.

Dear Editor:
Why has there not been a bill to change the Registry date from 1972 to 1992, that would be a simple solution and would help people who have been here at least 15 years. If anyone supports this please write to Senators.
